In a recent NPR interview, Gen. Colin Powell stated, "The president had to produce his birth certificate because there was still this coterie of people in the country who won't believe. And even after he produced his long-form birth certificate, and Mr. Trump decided he better find another thing to do besides run for president, there are still people who don't accept that.In fact, as you may have noticed, some people are trying to persuade me to listen to their arguments as to why he is not a citizen, and I don't choose to participate in that any longer. We've spent enough time on this issue. President Obama was born in the United States. He was born in Hawaii. He's shown his certificates, and the rest of this is just conspiratorial nonsense." Click here to listen to Powell's original statement.
However, NPR's Morning Edition website now shows the following statement in their transcript of that interview: “. . . The president had to produce his birth certificate because there was still this coterie of people in the country who won't believe. And even after he produced his long-form birth certificate, and Mr. Trump decided he better find another thing to do besides run for president. There are still people who don't accept that. We spent enough time on this issue. The rest of this is just conspiratorial nonsense.”
The Birther Summit is unaware of who might have requested the redaction, but Powell's original comments have certainly been edited. As to any notion that Gen. Powell might not have been speaking specifically about The Birther Summit's challenge of him, it can be concluded easily that he would not have been speaking about any other group, as The Birther Summit is the only one that has publicly challenged him to such a discussion. Before discussing Powell's comments, The Birther Summit does want to assert that NPR's journalistic dishonesty in this seems to underscore the public's perception of NPR's vastly left-leaning bias, and is generally indicative of the national media as a whole.
As to his original comments, it is clear that Gen. Powell is still running cover for Barack Obama, as his statement is devoid of fact. First, it is apparent to many Americans that what Barack Obama released on April 27, 2011 was a blatantly cheap computer-generated image that was not a scan, copy, or photograph of any real document. Next, Gen. Powell stated “. . . some people are trying to persuade me to listen to their arguments as to why he is not a citizen.” Reading through our challenge, it is obvious that it included no statement that Barack Obama is not a citizen; however, as those of us who have been lifting the banner of truth in this for nearly three years have become accustomed, this is a common straw-man argument that deceptive liberals use (please pardon our redundant use of “deceptive”).
The fact of the matter is, the general public has no way of knowing whether or not Barack Obama is a “citizen” because he has provided no evidence to settle that matter conclusively, as forgeries establish nothing factual. However, The Birther Summit is fully prepared to present evidence that Barack Obama is not a “natural born Citizen,” as required by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. Gen. Powell conveniently forgot the “natural born” part in his comment. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a “citizen,” Gen. Powell, but you know that he cannot be president.
Next, Powell said, “. . . I don't choose to participate in that any longer. We've spent enough time on this issue.” It was just this past May when Powell publicly stated that he enjoyed it when, “President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!" So, it appears that Gen. Powell is willing to “participate in that” on his terms, but refuses to be called out on the issue when it is understood he will be confronted with the facts, and those facts don't line up with his statements.
Powell concluded his remarks about this with, “He was born in Hawaii. He's shown his certificates, and the rest of this is just conspiratorial nonsense.” Unless Colin Powell has been privy to what has been hidden from the rest of the world, that statement was foolish at best, and purposely dishonest at worst. Moreover, to try to marginalize the issue by calling it “conspiratorial nonsense,” especially before actually hearing the evidence, is further proof of Colin Powell's complicity in the matter. The Birther Summit believes that rendering a decision on a matter before weighing the evidence is an unwise posture for anyone to maintain.

Wasn't there an NPR reference to "Kenya born Barack Obama" that was also scrubbed from the net a few years ago?
Truely dispicable, no, truely dishonorable for a highly decorated combat veteran, former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Secretary of State to consider the color of Obama's skin more important than the content of his character.

What do you expect from N.ever-ending P.rogressive R.eality? Here's another expose about NPR...the faux firing of Juan Williams. Juan's exit from NPR made FOX news slurp him up and now he spouts his NPR cloned views and die-hard Obot support regularly on shows like Hannity's TV and radio programs. I watch or listen to nothing he appears on or spews on and turn those programs off when he is given the time to perpetuate his blatant still supported by NPR views. The result is I don't watch much FOX TV anymore and cut off Hannity's radio program whenever Juan infiltrates them.
We are living in a failed state controlled by an elite oligarchy.
Fox News is a co-conspirator bought and paid for by Saudi Arabia.
WHY DID THE DEMS TRY OVER AND OVER TO CHANGE THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN CLAUSE IN THE CONSTITUTION QUITE ILLEGALLY I MIGHT ADD TOO. ITS TIME WE ARREST THEM ALL. THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK IS TO PUT EVERY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR IN JAIL FOR TREASON. WE THE PEOPLE HOLD THE POWER. THEY CANT DO SHIT WITH OUT US. ITS TIME WE FLEX OUR MUSCLE AND BRING THIS TRAIN WREAK TO AN END.
Powell's coverup shows him to be the racist that he is. There is no other reason to protect a known criminal.

"Fox News is a co-conspirator bought and paid for by Saudi Arabia."
Exactly, Fox is, at best, "controlled opposition" for the illegal Obama regime.
Obama is said to have promised Saudi Arabia something "really big" when he finished screwing America with Obamacare. I believe that "something" is the "Arab Spring" where terrible dictators will be replaced with even worse regimes, more implementation of Sharia law and the ultimate destruction of Israel.
Obama's apparent payback for the money and power, much of it from Saudi Arabia, which helped Obama usurp the presidency.
Powell is just another incident of skin color trumping everything else. Some 95% of blacks supported Obama, there is no other logical reason besides blind support for his marginal "blackness".
Wonder what his support among blacks is today...think it might be down to 85%?
Most Excellent Mr.Dean Haskins of the "Birther Summit". This was well done. Thank-you.
Also this has now become an EMBARRASSING incident for a ONCE respected man, called Colin Powell. Who's next? Keep up the good work.
Um, the audio and the transcript are in sync. Where is the recording with the extra two sentences?
As former Secretary of State, Powell should know that a person whose (alleged) father was from Kenya is a dual citizen.
Powell should know that a person whose father was not a U.S. citizen, cannot be a natural born citizen.
Powell has shown his incompetence (or, rather racism) by claiming Obama is qualified.
I never liked Colin Powell, I always knew he was a worthless RINO.
IT SEEMS AS IF MR. POWELL NEEDS TO BE SCHOOLED ON ARTICLE 2 , SECTION 1 , CLAUSE 5 OF THE CONSTITUTION ON THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT TO BE PRESIDENT AND THE OFFICIAL DEFINITION OF A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN VS. JUST A CITIZEN. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Why do you feel a need to moderate "Obama Defenders"? I thought we were still in the United States where we cherish free speech and other opinions?

What obligation does NPR have to advertise your birther challenge?
NPR should not receive any taxpayer funding. The NEA should not receive any taxpayer funding. NPR no doubt fully accepts Al Gore as a scientist and Obama as a honest politician. PBS is another vast waste of taxpayer money. National Propaganda Radio. Propaganda Broadcasting Service. Both Orwellian in fact.

Colin Powell?? MORE LIKE COLON CANCER POWELL! HIS DEFECATING BLOOD ON THE CONSTITUTION HAS GIVEN THIS NATION A STAGE 4 COLON CANCER!
A military personnel once said on this site, when you start out in the lower ranks, you might get away with acting unaware. (for instance, not knowing parts of the constitution, or the oath to protect America and it's people from foreign and domestic enemies ), but when you are in the position of colin powell, you are MORE than aware that THAT IS YOUR ONLY AND SOLE JOB. When an arresting authority slaps those handcuff's on colin powell for "misprison of felony", for beginners, their SCRUB isn't going to help him.
>>> And to think this man was in charge of PARENTS, OUR BROTHERS, SISTERS, CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, UNIFORMED MILITARYS.<<<<>>>> excuse me while I get sick.
@TRUE PATRIOTS (NAVY VET)
Very well said, True Patriots.
Today is General David Petraeus' first day as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the Obama administration.
What the hell is happening to my (retired) military?
I was hoping that the General would be the Republican nominee against Obama in 2012, not working for him.
anon, at 11:21am, some of us GOOD GUYS are still around, but some of them got to comfortable, and increased their wealth,like General Petreas aka WASHED UP THE CREEK aka WHOLE MILITARY CAREER THROWN AWAY aka dumbas?s, Interesting isn't it? GREED, IS SUCH A "SMALL & not worth it THING "IN THE END". But truth will still prevail. Truth always does. God Bless & take care, comrad.
